Compare and contrast
the use of symbolism and imagery
in the following two poems
by Gerald McDumb Bell
The test question piqued my interest at first
the poet's name and all
After glancing at the poems, though
I doused them in wood alcohol
Do you have what it takes
Do you have stage legs
That won’t break?
Can you make eye contact
Do you know the difference
Between compare and contrast?
Can you weather the storm
In spite of illusionary harm?
If you meet all the criteria than you’re the one
Who’s conquered inferior and your
Confidence is superior
The mind is an echo
Reflecting someone's belief
Like the notion of death
That leads us to grief
Merely bundles of thought
Tied up in the past
Forming identity layers
We compare and contrast
Programmed for survival
Hardwired with fear
Emotional alarm systems
For when I am not here
The mind is deceiving
With a compass I roam
One dwells in yourself
To find the way home
"Into Eternity
Where all is one
There crept a tiny mad idea
At which the Son of God
Remembered not to laugh"
- ACIM
Beckon fraternity
As I have none
They leapt into my sacred shadow
The even and the odd
Revered on my behalf
- For Him
(ACIM stands for A Course in Miracles which is written as an epic poem in iambic pentameter
style by a woman named Helen Schucman in 1976. Strictly speaking she scribed it but that's
been debated).
